Overview
Moving from User.com to Monday.com CRM is a structural migration from a contact-object model to a board-centric workspace. User.com stores contacts, companies, and deals as discrete objects with a contact-based billing model; Monday.com CRM presents these as People, Organizations, and Deals entities inside a configurable board architecture. We export User.com's full record set via CSV or API, normalize the bool format changes (f/t) and ISO 8601 DateTime values introduced in late-2023 exports, and map each object into the equivalent Monday.com CRM entity. Automations and email templates do not export from User.com and must be rebuilt; we deliver a written inventory documenting every active automation trigger, condition, and action sequence for the customer's admin to reconstruct in Monday.com's automation builder. The contact-based billing model in User.com means every record with an email, phone, or chat interaction counts toward the bill — we scope the full attribute profile of each record before migration so the customer understands which contacts will activate in Monday.com and what the per-seat cost will be.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a User.com object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
User.com
User (Contact)
monday CRM
People (CRM entity)
1:1User.com contacts migrate to Monday.com CRM People records. Every contact with an email, phone, user_id, last_heard (chat visitor), web push subscription, or FCM key qualifies as a billable contact in User.com and is counted toward that platform's billing. We scope the full attribute profile of each record before migration and flag which contacts carry attributes that trigger the User.com billing threshold, so the customer has a complete audit before cutover. In Monday.com, People records carry standard fields (name, email, phone, address) plus custom columns we create to mirror User.com custom properties.
User.com
Company
monday CRM
Organization (CRM entity)
1:1User.com companies map directly to Monday.com CRM Organization records. The company-contact association is preserved by linking each Organization to its associated People records in Monday.com during import. All standard company attributes (domain, industry, size, address) migrate directly; custom company properties map to Organization custom columns created in the Monday.com board schema before migration begins.
User.com
Deal
monday CRM
Deals (CRM entity / board)
1:1User.com deals migrate to Monday.com CRM Deals. We create the Deals board with columns for deal value, stage, owner, and expected close date to match User.com's deal structure. Custom deal fields map to custom columns on the Deals board. Deal stage values from User.com are remapped to the Monday.com Deals pipeline stages. The deal-contact and deal-company associations are preserved by linking each Deal to its related People and Organization records.
User.com
Custom Properties
monday CRM
Custom Columns
lossyUser.com custom properties on contacts, companies, and deals map to custom columns in Monday.com. We export the full custom property schema from User.com during the initial data pull, create the equivalent custom columns in Monday.com before migration, and apply type-mapped column configurations (text, number, date, dropdown). Choice and fixed-choice fields from User.com use {} bracket notation (post-2023 format) and require normalization to Monday.com's dropdown options during the mapping transform.
User.com
Events
monday CRM
Calendar Items / Board Items
1:1User.com Events (calendar and activity events) migrate to Monday.com board items or Calendar integration entries. We preserve event timestamps (in ISO 8601 format as exported from User.com), attendee lists, and event-type attributes. Events associated with contacts or deals link to the corresponding People or Deals records in Monday.com. Event type metadata migrates as a custom column to preserve the categorization that existed in User.com.
User.com
Activities
monday CRM
Activity Log / Board Items
1:1User.com activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) migrate to Monday.com activity logging. The activity schema is straightforward for task-type activities; behavioral metadata on email opens, chat sessions, and push notifications requires field-level mapping to preserve the relevant attributes. Activities link to the parent People or Organization record in Monday.com. Historical activity timestamps migrate in ISO 8601 format.
User.com
Tags
monday CRM
Tags / Labels
1:1Tags from User.com associated with contacts and deals migrate as labels in Monday.com. Tags used for contact segmentation in User.com become Monday.com tags on the relevant People records. Tags used for deal categorization become labels on Deals board items. We preserve the full tag assignment per record during migration, though the semantic role of tags (as labels, segments, or lists) is customer-dependent and is documented in the mapping specification.
User.com
Live Chat / Conversations
monday CRM
Board Items / Notes
1:1Chat transcripts and conversation history from User.com can be exported, but the exported format bundles conversation threads with contact records, requiring flattening and re-association. We separate conversation threads from contact records, map each thread to a note or item in Monday.com linked to the corresponding People record, and preserve the timestamp and channel metadata for audit purposes. Chat history is migrated as reference data; it does not replay as active conversations in Monday.com.

Migration approach
Data extraction and scoping from User.com
We export the full record set from User.com via CSV or API: contacts (with full attribute profiles for billing-scope analysis), companies, deals, events, activities, custom properties schema, tags, and chat transcripts. During extraction we detect the export version to identify the bool format (f/t vs False/True), DateTime format (ISO 8601), and Choice field bracket notation ({}) that require normalization. We produce a record-count baseline by object type for reconciliation after migration.
Monday.com CRM workspace provisioning
We install Monday.com CRM in the customer's workspace and configure the CRM boards: People, Organizations, and Deals. We create custom columns matching the User.com custom property schema, define deal pipeline stages mapped from User.com deal stages, and set up the CRM views that the team will use post-migration. This step runs in parallel with the data extraction and normalization phase and must be complete before any import begins.
Data normalization and object mapping
We normalize the extracted User.com data before loading: bool values (f/t) are converted to the format Monday.com expects for boolean columns, DateTime values in ISO 8601 are mapped to Monday.com date column formats, Choice fields with {} brackets are split into Monday.com dropdown options, and JSON value formatting is resolved. We map each User.com object to its Monday.com CRM equivalent (contact to People, company to Organization, deal to Deals, event to Calendar or board item) and preserve all relational associations. Tags and custom properties are mapped to their Monday.com column equivalents.
Automation inventory and rebuild handoff preparation
We audit every active User.com automation sequence and document its trigger type, conditions, actions, and intended business outcome. This written inventory — delivered as a structured document — is the handoff artifact for the customer's admin to rebuild in Monday.com's automation builder. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope. Email template libraries are documented for manual recreation. Chat transcript migration is handled as notes and activity log entries on People records rather than as replayable conversations.
Migration validation and customer sign-off
We run the migration into the customer's live Monday.com CRM workspace using a subset of records and spot-check field-level accuracy against the User.com source. We reconcile record counts by object type, verify the People-Organization-Deals relationships are intact, and confirm that custom property values are populated in the correct columns. The customer reviews the validation results and signs off before the final production migration begins.
Production migration and cutover
We run the production migration in dependency order: People (with full attribute profiles), Organizations (linked to People), Deals (linked to People and Organizations), then events, activities, and chat history. Any records modified in User.com during the migration window are synced as a final delta pass. We freeze writes in User.com at cutover and deliver the automation inventory document. We remain available for a one-week hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the team.
